Water pouring in around the chimney

Rain running down the chimney breast, dripping from the ceiling beside the stack or pooling in the firebox gets worse every hour the storm lasts. Something at the top has opened up: a cap, the concrete top, the metal where the chimney meets the roof or the masonry itself.

Move furniture and rugs clear, catch what you can and stay off the roof. The line is answered 24/7, and we tell you what to do next and when someone can realistically be there. Water coming in at the chimney in Mandarin? Call (904) 920-5495 and ask for our emergency crew.

Damage a chimney fire can leave

Deposits burning in a flue can drive temperatures far past normal. Clay tile can split, mortar joints can open, a metal damper can warp and heat can reach wood framing close to the chimney through gaps in the masonry.

A factory-built chimney can be damaged too, and its parts are judged against the maker's instructions. Much of this cannot be seen from the room, so nothing burns in that fireplace until the whole system has been examined. The findings decide whether repair or relining comes next. If framing near the chimney shows scorching, it is written up for the right trade to assess.

Lightning and chimney damage

A chimney often stands above the roof, which makes it a likely path for lightning. A strike can crack bricks, blow off the top courses, damage the cap and send debris down the flue.

If there is any sign of fire in the house, get everyone out and call 911 first. Otherwise, the chimney is examined before the fireplace is used again, including the flue, since a strike can crack tiles inside that look fine from outside. Damage that affects the roof or wiring is referred to those trades. Scorch marks, cracked bricks near the top or pieces of tile in the firebox are all signs worth reporting.

When a sweep cannot wait

Routine cleaning covers nearly every sweep. An emergency sweep is different: it clears a flue that has become blocked by a nest, debris or fallen tile, when something that people rely on vents through it.

The sweep clears the blockage and the flue is examined for the cause. A missing cap, a cracked tile or a collapsed nest are the usual findings, and each goes on the follow-up estimate. Nothing vents through that flue again until it is confirmed open. The debris removed is checked too, because pieces of tile or mortar among it point to damage higher up. A nest found to be active and protected changes the plan, and you hear that before anything is removed.

Before the crew arrives

Can I use the fireplace after an emergency visit?

The visit note says so in writing. After a fire, storm damage to the flue or a blockage, nothing is burned until the flue is examined and any repair is finished.

Is the permanent repair priced on the night?

No. The night visit makes the chimney safe. The permanent repair is examined and priced in daylight, as its own written estimate, and nothing starts without your approval.
